what was your favourite childhood toy?

I went to see Toy Story 3 with some friends last night, and it was so good!!! It also makes me want to seek out all my old childhood toys and reminisce about those happy little times. There were the Barbie dolls that my best friends and I dressed up and bonded over, a My Little Pony that was always around during bath time (yet there was always a stain on it's back that I could never wash off!), the Legos that were always scattered around the house (sorry mum!) and my favourite is an old teddy bear who I've had for as long as I can remember. He looks after my room while I've lived away from home, and I always give him a big squeeze whenever I come back!

So tell me, what was your favourite childhood toy(s), and do you still have it?

little notes:

I had a stuffed animal tiger & my little ponies & trolls. If my trolls talked I could totally imagine them being like, "Ya know this jewel in my bellybutton is starting to itch!" hehe. I can't wait to see Toy Story 3

i immediately miss my childhood toys after watching Toy Story 3 tooo.such a sweet sweet movie.i used to have this really really ugly teddy called 'Bule'.he's still around somewhere in this house... i think.i need to laundry him though...

My favourite toy was a doll called "Chabel", and it was the japanese Licca's spanish version. I still have all of them, because they were lovely! It can be said that I'm from the Barbie Generation (early 80s), but I don't keep any of the Barbies I had because I didn't like them. But I keep all my Chabeles safe :)

I had a Raggedy Anne doll that I called Gringa. I was a toddler unable to say Raggedy Anne. Unfortunately, she met her demise by being dropped in the toilet when I was still really young, poor Gringa :(

my favorite toy was a large stuffed tiger named molly. she took up half of my twin sized bed when i was a kid but i didn't care! i loved her. sadly, i don't have her anymore but like i said, she was big so i'm not sure where i'd put her given the opportunity.

I also had some My Little Ponies, Cabbage Patch Kids and lots of teddy bears. I do still have one of those teddy bears, which is actually a tattered Northern Exposure moose. But it's in a box somewhere in my aunt's garage in the States.

My favourite toy was probably my teddy Casey. I still have her, she was white and had a little green and white pinstrip dress and a matching bow. I dont know what happened to the dress, and the bow came off, and has been sewed on several times since. My dog also chewed out her left eye and her nose. But I still love her.(=

Aww! I was wishing I knew where my favorite childhood toys were too after TS3! I had a rag doll named Gloria that I carried around by her pigtails until they came off of her head! And I had a stuffed black poodle that, for some reason, I named Black Orchid (I was feeling poetic!).

I LOVED polly pockets. Sadly my mother gave them all away and they don't make them any more - tiny parts equal choking hazards. My favourite one was a giant fairyland encased in a glittery purple star-shaped case. Best!

Toy Story 3 was absolutely phenomenal! I loved Mr. Pricklypants, even though his part was probably 10 seconds total. I used to read and draw a lot, but one of my favourite toys was a Christmas-themed teddy bear named Snowball. She still sits on my bed right now, with me through all of my childhood, teenage years and even college. Now in my post-grad, pre-grad school years, she's still by my side!

First of all let me say that I love the first photograph, which is Athena's.Do you know her blog?It's adorable.Anyway, about the toy...well...I still have all my childhood toys in the attic and a part of them in my room, but I do not recall being particulary attached to one of them.There is one Barbie doll which I absolutely love among the other 5 or 6 and there was a baby doll I played a lot with.But a favourite toy...I do not really think I have.

I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet. I must! This is a terrific idea for a post. Such fun. Gosh, lets see... I had so many favorites. I really liked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Haha! Also, my sister and I were really into all the quintessential 80's toys: Care Bears, She-Ra action figures, and My Little Ponies. Like you, I have a beloved stuffed animal that's been with me for as long as I can remember: a little purple bunny rabbit. Gosh, I loved her so. I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of her.
